The current and future platforms for marine environmental measurements.

1. Sensors : Iridium Modem offers truly global coverage for low-cost data telemetry, including currents and waves, using the Iridium satellite network. Iridium is
the only satellite network that allows transmission of information from any point on Earth 24 / 7 a week. Modem Approximately Cost of $5,000.
2. Coastal Monitoring Buoy : Depending on the types of integrated sensors, buoys can cost up to $100,000 or more. buyers can easily spend up to $10,000 each month for
deployment, annual maintenance, and eventual retrieval.
3. Remote Telemetry Outstation (land-based, freshwater and marine environments).UAV (unmanned Aerial Vehicle) The drone is attached with spital lightweight
camera to capture the images, sensors for the monitoring system, and GPS for mapping the oil spill area where the geo referenced method is used. The cost for this
application is $550,000 approximately.
Economic analysis For our drone, we will attached with a spital lightweight camera with a price start from $300. Integrated with sensors. Like UAV LiDAR , sensor sets
(scanner, IMU, and GNSS) cost between $100.000-$400.000. For long endurance UAV platform of 2 units, it cost between $60.000-$120.000.
